If Youâve Never Tried Growing Radicchio, Now Is the Time
This cultivated form of chicory is having a moment. Hereâs what you need to know before you plant it.
When most people picture radicchio, they think of the kind that comes in a bagged baby-salad mix. But there are a dizzing variety of radicchios, including (top row, from left) Rosso di Treviso Tardivo, Variegato di Lusia and Variegato di Castelfranco; (middle, from left) Rosso di Chioggia and Rosso di Verona (a large and small example); and (bottom, from left) Rosa del Veneto (two examples) and Rosso di Treviso Precoce. (Puntarelle, bottom right, is not a radicchio, but a cousin among the cultivated chicories.)Credit.Shawn Linehan
